This just came up on my feed. I'm going to say this as a person who didn't serve but had had the same thoughts as you.

It's not that it's too late to enlist... But there are probably better things you can be doing with your time and resources to help your community. Volunteer to teach a course at your local library. Check a local work training facility to see if they need any assistance. Check with local schools and offer shadowing. These small actions are pretty trivial to someone in your position, but could really help improve the lives I've people in your community.

Ya, like jolly rouge said, they're pretty good. I have had an occasional issue where the track pad didn't want to work after waking the PC up. But otherwise it's been bullet proof. All the hot keys work no problem. I haven't had any of the weird "can't wake from suspended state" issues I've had with older PCs. I basically leave my laptop plugged in next to my desk and it's ready at a moments notice. I use Windows for gaming and work btw. But I've even installed Valheim on my laptop just to see if it would work and it totally does. No complaints on fedora. I used endeavor on it as well and I want to say even pop is. Just a bit of distro going there, no reason I ditched the other two other than just preferring fedora in the end.

I love my dell 5300 latitude with fedora. Touchscreen, 13 inches, super compact. And a dime a dozen as you can find used enterprise laptops on eBay/Facebook market.

Slap a large nvme in there and you're good to go for like, under 300. With the leftover cash, you can even get a docking station and monitor if you wanted a dank setup at home.

Not church per se, but my uncle blew his brains out. At the wake, the priest turned his little speech into how evil abortion is. Yes, let's talk about killing babies... Anything not to tell about the dude who killed himself.

Zentyal seems to be the closest direct replacement for Windows Server. I'm downloading it now to take on a test drive, thanks much! EDIT: Actually, it seems the link to download the community edition is broken?

Damn, I hadn't heard much about this either, but it does seem like a full replacement for Windows server with AD. I'll for sure be checking it out, thanks!

Depends on what you’re looking for? Common logins? A way of mass applying configurations and policies or to multiple computers? Way of doing centralized shared file stores?

I'm actually kind of looking for all of this. Everything there is currently Windows, but it's kind of hard to upgrade everything without paying money haha. I was wondering if I could do a version of Linux because as a non-profit we have a free google workspace account. It would be nice to move away from the Windows teat(especially because we have a free productivity suite in Google Docs), but that might be a hard battle to win.

Ho shit! I never actually heard of this before, but I'm interested now. I've been using Fedora on my personal laptop...and have been wanting to switch to Linux on my gaming PC. I haven't made the leap yet though as I'm not 100% comfortable being without Windows. I know dual booting is a things but I haven't done that in a decade and would rather just have one OS on my Pc. Thanks a lot for your response!

Thanks for the response! Can Samba handle things like group policy as well?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Right, so the church itself has no idea what they want/need. I'm basically doing all this set up for free, just so I can say I've done it. What I was really hoping for was authentication, but also group policy management and file share. Thanks for the response!

Aye! What's goin' on on this side!?

Actually a pretty great film to be honest.
